Because Katie has proposed a BoP series, she would be the one spearheading its development and conception if it were the series that Pedowitz and The CW are "looking to add", but the fact that she's A) busy filming Arrow and B) was busy directing Episode 8x03 pretty much indicates that, despite her desire to see a BoP series be greenlit, it's not the project to which Pedowitz was referring.

The more I think about it, the more I'd like to see them go for something focused on the magical side of things. We've gotten some of it on Arrow and Legends, but they haven't really dealt with many of the magical characters from the comics. We still haven't seen Etrigan, Xanadu, Fate, Phantom Stranger, The Spectre, ect.

I think that Etrigan would be way too expensive to do well on TV, even with trying to do it with simplistic make up. Flashy magic in general would probably be tough, Constantine at least barely uses noticeable magic, so he can be used relatively cheaply. Plus I bet DC still thinks that it will do a Justice League Dark thing eventually, so it might just save those characters for potential movie projects.

As for what I'd like to see, I don't really know. The CW fails as often as it succeeds nowadays. I'd like to see a Ted Kord/Booster Gold show, but I'm sure that the proposed movie (which will almost certainly never actually get made) will keep those characters in limbo until the end of time.

My dream CW superhero show (aka one that will never happen but could at leas theoretically work on TV) would be if they resurrected Captain Cold, and put him, Mick Rory, Rip Hunter and a few other people on a vessel that travels around solving problems, but doing it competently and not as an absolute farce. Just call it Time Masters or whatever, and I think they could have a very interesting show (as long as it didn't devolve into a bunch of fucking morons doing things like fighting stuffed animals and chasing Neal McDonough around.)

"Pitch" is a contraction of the phrase "sales pitch".[2] A pitch is used throughout different stages of production, such as casting and distribution, as well as to urge film producers to further fund a project.[1] Filmmakers who devise a pitch tend to manufacture a production package, which is handed out to each potential investor during the pitch. The package contains the basic information for the filmmaker's project, such as a plot synopsis and budgeting values.[3] Sometimes, filmmakers will produce an independent pitch trailer as a part of the package to help potential financiers better visualize the project and the filmmaker's vision.

Though pitches are usually made on the basis of a full script or teleplay, animated productions for both film and television are often pitched on the basis of storyboards alone. For example, the animated television show Phineas and Ferb was pitched from a storyboard. Co-founders of the project, Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, needed to convince overseas executives for The Walt Disney Company to greenlight the series, so they drew a storyboard and recorded it as a reel. They then mixed it and dubbed it over with sound effects, voices, and narrative, then sent the recording to the executives, who accepted it.[4]

Television pitches can also be devised by the network or company that produces the program.[5] Certain networks are pitched the idea of including a character in a series in order to boost ratings. Such pitches have been used with "Oliver" in The Brady Bunch and "Luke" on Growing Pains.[6] Networks also try to force their ideas on series' producers through their pitches, though their approach is business-oriented and their ideas are generally not favored by writers and viewers.[7] In 1992, the crew of the animated series Rugrats was approached by Nickelodeon, which pitched the idea of a RugratsHanukkah special. Paul Germain, co-creator of the series, responded by suggesting a passover special, which he dubbed a "funny idea."[5] After they closed production for that special, they began considering the Hanukkah special and eventually created it in 1996 as the episode "A Rugrats Chanukah."[5][8]

You know they could always try for a Jonah Hex series having introduced the character in Legends of Tomorrow. It's not like there's going to be another film anytime soon following the Josh Brolin one from a few years ago and wouldn't be that effects heavy.

don't know if it has been mentioned...but i think they ought to scale back.. have only 3 on at a time...one set for fall, the other for winter/spring.

I think we have already reached saturation...and with DIsney+ among other things.... you're making audiences choose one or the other...when, if spread out, could be most of them instead...and while there is always On Demand, you get better results (and immediate social media hype) if it is live watching and commenting

Here's the definition of the term "pitch" in filmmaking as per Wikipedia:

Since I have experience with pitches outside of Wikipedia, @dodge is correct. A pitch could be as simple as saying a log line to an executive, to a five minute overview to as much as, "hey, I have this script."

David ramsay's recently been interviewed and asked about a GL TV show. My reading of it is that the producers are pretty much on the same page as those guys upthread who've been pointing out the difficulties in getting one made due to the level of VFX.
